James Marshall Goff Poet Acrostic

Shapeshifter

G entle breezes, then again not,

      E yes that feel your heart's regret of

           M issing years and hidden tears,

                 I n dreams and schemes forever play,

                      N ot once did stop and ask me why?

                            I walk on land, then fly away

Carolyn Devonshire March 29, 2009 at 11:05 AM Great acrostic, James! My boyfriend and my sister are both Geminis, and they sometimes leave me wondering who they really are. They are "shapeshifters" in personality, but always a source of great joy for me. Love this work and it's going into my favorites!
